2026 marks 20 years of "arti" - the art prize for Wolfsburg artists.
For the exhibition, Anka Blank, Dilara Cansi, Joachim Nita, Sophie Olive-Kuipers, Hannah Ott, Monika Salmanyan, Walter Winter and Marie-Lena Zahn were selected by a top-class jury from all submissions. The three award winners will be chosen from the nominees at the opening on May 21.
"The world as a mosaic" is the theme of arti 2026, which is explored in all the works on display. Not only do the approaches to the theme differ, but a broad spectrum of media is also represented: Painting, objects, ceramics, photography or sound. The ancient technique of the mosaic stands for man's ability to combine different elements into a unity. The initial disorder is transformed into a convincing order. The exhibition of the nominees also shows very heterogeneous positions that are linked by the theme. In addition - and this is a prerequisite for participation - all the artists are based in Wolfsburg. The "arti" exhibition, which takes place every two years, proves how lively the Wolfsburg art scene is and promotes its visibility. The catalog that accompanies each arti exhibition also contributes to this.
